[user40108]

Theo Tran

[Removed:133] raised to 850 from under the gun and after action folded to Theo Tran in the cutoff seat, he made the call.

The two saw a flop of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

and Cournut led out for 1,200. Tran thought for a bit before making the call. The {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

hit the turn and both men checked.

When the river fell the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

, Cournut checked to Tran and he wasted no time betting 3,400. Cournut took his time and then made a hesistant call. As soon as his chips came to rest, Tran calmly said "the nuts" and rolled over {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{4-Spades}

.

Tran now sits on a stack of about 17,000 while Cournut is still a force with just over 70,000 chips.
